LOCATION
The room air conditioner is designed to fit easily into a
single or double hung window. However, since window
designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modi-
fications for safe and proper installation.
Make sure the window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry or rotted wood. Replace wood
if necessary or relocate the air conditioner.
For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on
the side of the house or building that has more shade
than sunlight.
Provide sufficient clearance for the air conditioner to
allow proper air circulation through and around the
unit. The rear of the unit must be outdoors (not in a
garage or inside of the building). Provide 20-in. of
clearance on each side of the unit. Provide 20-in. of
clearance from the rear of the unit to any obstruction.
Provide 12-in. of clearance from the top of the unit. See
Fig. 3.
Unit should be at least 30-in. above the floor and out-
side ground.
Curtains and other objects should be moved if they
block indoor airflow.
Unit must be within reach of a proper electrical wall
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
The unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. Under extreme humidity
conditions, excess condensation may cause the
basepan to overflow to the outside of the unit. The unit
should be installed where condensation drip cannot
cause damage.
WINDOW INSTALLATION
To install the room air conditioner in a window, per-
form the following procedure.
1. Check contents of installation hardware package
provided with air conditioner. See Table 2. Make
sure all the items are included.
2. Determine which window will be used for installa-
tion. See Location section on page 3.
3. Check that the window opening dimensions are
suitable for installation. For KC_101P units, the
window must be between 24 and 38-in. wide and
the window must open at least 15-in. high. For
KC_121P units, the window must be between 27
and 41-in. wide and the window must open at
least 16-in. high. It is recommended that the win-
dow sill be at least 5/8-in. thick to support the
weight of the air conditioner. See Table 3 for unit
dimensions.

to prevent air leakage between the windows. This
also prevents insects from entering through the
window.
22. Some installations may require additional sealing
around the window or air conditioner. Additional
sealing strip material is provided if needed.
23. The unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. Under extreme humid-
ity conditions, excess condensation may cause the
basepan to overflow to the outside of the unit. A
field-supplied drain hose may be installed at the
drain plug if required to route condensate away
from the unit. See Fig. 18.
24. Plug in the unit.
STORM WINDOW APPLICATIONS
If the window is blocked by a storm window and the
storm window cannot be removed, a mounting board
(field provided) will need to be added to the window
sash. The air conditioner needs to be pitched down-
ward to the back in order for condensate to drain prop-
erly. The frame of the storm window (or any other
obstruction) must be at least 1/2-in. lower than the
window sill. If the storm window frame is not at least
1/2-in. below the window sill, then a mounting board
will need to be added to raise the height of the window
sill. See Fig. 19. The board will need to be provided
and cut by the installer.
1. The wood mounting board should be a minimum
of 11/2-in. wide and should run the length of the
window. The thickness of the mounting board is
dependent on the height of the storm window
frame. The mounting board should raise the front
of the air conditioner high enough so that the unit
will be pitched downward at least 5/8-in. when the
back of the unit is resting on the storm window
frame. See Fig. 19.
2. Cut the wood mounting board to fit the window.
3. Install the wood mounting board on the window
using 2 field-provided nails or screws.
4. Drain holes or slots in storm window frame must
not be caulked or painted shut. Holes are needed
to drain rain water and condensate. Ensure that
trapped water can drain out.

WALL INSTALLATION
To install the room air conditioner in the wall, perform
the following procedure:
1. Remove air conditioner from shipping box. Do not
install window installation parts (noted in
Table 2).
2. Determine the location for air conditioner. Make
sure there is adequate clearance on the inside and
outside of the wall. Ensure that the power cord
will reach the available socket without an exten-
sion cord. Air conditioner can be installed in walls
up to 7 in. thick. Side louvers must never be
blocked. Select a wall surface that:
•does not support major structural loads such as
the frame construction at ends of windows and
under truss-bearing points
•does not have plumbing or wiring routed inside
•is near existing electrical outlets or near where a
new outlet can be installed
•faces the area to be cooled and is not blocked by
obstructions
•allows unblocked airflow from rear (outside) of
installed air conditioner
3. The following parts will need to be provided by the
installer:
•wood frame
•wood shims
•wood screws (no. 10, 1-in. long)
4. Working from the inside of the room, find a wall
stud nearest the center of the area where the air
conditioner will be installed. This can be deter-
mined by sounding walls or using a stud finder.
5. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of the center
stud. See Fig. 20.
6. Measure between the inside edges of every other
stud as shown in Fig. 20.
7. Follow all local building codes when building and
installing frame. Build a wooden frame that will
be placed around the unit in the wall. The frame
will reinforce the hole in the wall where the air
conditioner is installed and is used to secure the
air conditioner to the wall. The frame should have
an inner dimension of 20.5-in. width by 14.8-in.
height for 73KC_101P air conditioners or 22.8-in.
width by 15.7-in. height for 73KC_121P air condi-
tioners to ensure that the air conditioner will fit
inside the frame. See Fig. 21. The depth of the
frame should approximately match the depth of
the wall. The thickness of the frame will need to
be added to the dimensions to determine the size
of the hole in the wall.
For example, if using 3/4-in. thick wood for the
frame, the hole would need to be:
201/2+ 3/4+ 3/4= 22-in. wide.
8. After the frame has been constructed, check to
make sure that the air conditioner fits correctly
inside it. If the frame is too tight or too loose,
adjust the size or re-construct.
9. Measure the outer dimensions of the frame and
use those dimensions to cut the hole in the wall.
Make sure the hole is level or condensate will not
drain properly.
10. Install wooden frame into hole in wall. Make sure
frame is properly secured. Fill in the space
between the frame and the studs with wood shims
(spacers). Nails spacers to studs. If required, pro-
vide studs around entire frame to reinforce stabil-
ity of wall. See Fig. 22.
IMPORTANT: Read entire instructions before cut-
ting hole in wall.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to measure air conditioner
to check size before constructing frame.
IMPORTANT: If thickness of the wall covers top
and side vents of the air conditioner when it is
installed, the outer portion of the wall opening
must be widened. The top and side vents must be
clear and uncovered.

11. Caulk joints in wood frame as required. If wall
thickness is 7-in. or more, add aluminum flashing
over bottom of frame opening to ensure no water
can enter area between inner and outer wall.
12. Remove the chassis from the unit cabinet.
13. Slide the empty cabinet into the wall opening and
into wooden frame. Approximately 21/2in. of the
cabinet should be in the room. The rest of the cab-
inet should be positioned through and outside the
wall. See Fig. 23. Maintain proper slope for con-
densate drain operation. Bottom rail should be
resting firmly on bottom board of wooden frame.
14. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two large
wood screws (1-in. long) using the two holes in the
bottom of the channel. See Fig. 24.
15. There are screw holes in the cabinet (4 each side,
4 top) which are used to secure the cabinet to the
wooden frame. With the cabinet in its final posi-
tion, drill holes in the wooden frame using the
screw holes in the cabinet as a guide. After the
holes have been drilled, secure the cabinet to the
wooden frame using field-supplied screws. See
Fig. 25.
16. Caulk around wood frame and wall opening on
outside wall for a water-tight seal.
17. Optional caulking between the cabinet and the
wooden frame may be done on inside wall. Caulk-
ing provides an air seal around the cabinet. Deco-
rative wood trim may be added to provide a more
pleasing appearance.
18. Lift chassis and carefully slide it into the cabinet.
Be sure that it is firmly seated towards the rear of
the cabinet.
19. Install the front panel.
20. Plug in the unit.
Be careful when handling chassis. Sharp edges on
coil fins can cause personal injury.
Do not push on the controls or the coil when
installing chassis. Damage to unit or personal
injury could result.

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
The air conditioner is installed the same way as the
Wall Installation section with a few exceptions. Follow
all local and national building codes.
The cabinet can be secured to the masonry by using
masonry nail or masonry anchor screws.
Another installation technique would be to construct a
frame of 2 x 4s and install the frame between the wall
opening and the cabinet. The frame must be securely
anchored to the masonry wall opening.
Use a lintel to support masonry above wall opening.
Install exterior cabinet support brackets.
OPERATION
An electronic-type control is used on your Carrier air
conditioner. The electronic control consists of a control
panel and a remote control. Both the control panel or
the remote control can be used to set cooling and fan
modes and adjust the desired temperature. See
Fig. 26. Other additional features are provided.
REMOTE CONTROL AND
PANEL CONTROLS
Either the remote control or the control panel on the
air conditioner can be used. The battery of the remote
control will need to be installed before it can be used.
To operate the room air conditioner with the remote
control, aim the remote control to the signal receptor.
(See Fig. 25.) The remote control will operate the air
conditioner at a distance of up to 23 feet when pointing
at signal receptor of the unit.
■TURN UNIT OFF/ON — Press the POWER button
on the remote control or the ON/OFF button on the
control panel.
NOTE: To switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit, press the
UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons on the con-
trol panel (not the remote control) at the same time.
■COOLING MODES — Each time the MODE button
is pressed, three different operation modes are
changed in sequence - Cooling, Fan Only, or Energy
Saving. Press the MODE button to select the cooling
mode.
In Cooling mode, the air conditioner will run and
provide cooling. The amount of cooling can be adjusted
with the FAN SPEED button on the control panel. The
fan speed will be indicated by the lighted symbol on
the control panel. See Fig. 26. To change the fan speed
on the remote control, press the HIGH, MID or LOW
buttons. If the fan speed is set to Auto mode, the fan
speed adjusts automatically from low to high based on
the setting of the thermostat and the actual room
temperature.
In Fan Only mode, the fan operates to circulate the air
in the room, but there is no cooling operation. This
mode is used to circulate the air in the room when
cooling is not required. The amount of circulation can
be adjusted with the FAN SPEED button on the con-
trol panel. Auto cannot be selected in Fan Only mode.
NOTE: When changing modes during operation, the
unit may not respond immediately. Wait 3 minutes
before attempting to switch modes or restarting the
unit.
■ENERGY SAVING MODE — When the air condition-
ing unit is Energy Saving mode and the Auto fan
speed is selected, the air conditioner will automati-
cally switch from Cooling to Fan Only mode when cool-
ing is not required. When the air conditioning unit is
Energy Saving mode and the low, medium or high fan
speed is selected, the air conditioner will run in Cool-
ing mode if the room temperature is 2 degrees higher
than the thermostat setting. When the room tempera-
ture is lower than 66 F (19 C), the unit will turn off (no
cooling or fan).
The Energy Saving mode can be selected from the
remote control by pressing the POWER SAVER
button.
■FAN SPEED — The air conditioner Fan mode can be
set to High, Medium, Low, or Auto. Press the FAN

High fan mode is recommended for very warm days or
when a fast initial cooling of the room is desired.
Medium fan mode is recommended on moderately warm
days or when the unit has been operating for some time
and the temperature is about to reach its desired set-
ting. Low fan mode is recommended on slightly warm
days or after the room temperature has reached its
desired setting. Auto mode adjusts the fan speed auto-
matically from low to high based on the setting of the
thermostat and the actual room temperature.
NOTE: When changing modes during operation, the
unit may not respond immediately. Wait 3 minutes
before attempting to switch modes or restarting the
unit.
■THERMOSTAT — The temperature setting on the

can be programmed so that the unit will shut off after
a certain number of hours (if operating) or turn on
after a certain number of hours (if off).
Press the TIMER button to start the Timer mode. The
number of hours will start at 0. The range is 0 to
24 hours.
If the unit is operating, the number of hours until the
unit will turn off will be displayed. If the unit is off,
the number of hours until the unit will turn on will be
displayed. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons on
the control panel to change the number of hours. When
using the remote control, press the “-” and “+” buttons
to change the number of hours.
Press the TIMER button again to cancel Timer mode.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Your Carrier air conditioner is designed to operate
efficiently and save on energy costs. Follow these
recommendations for even greater energy savings:
•Select the warmest thermostat setting that will suit
your comfort needs and leave the thermostat at that
setting.
•Keep the air filter clean (clean approximately every
30 days).
•Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sun-
light from heating the room.
•Do not obstruct the front panel air intake. Do not
obstruct the top air discharge. Allow air to circulate
freely around the air conditioner.
•Start your air conditioner before outdoor tempera-
ture, cooking heat, or groups of people make the
room hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial
period of discomfort while the air conditioner is cool-
ing the room.
•When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use the
FAN ONLY setting. This circulates indoor air, pro-
vides comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when
operating in cooling modes.
MAINTENANCE
When servicing the air conditioner, make sure the
mode is set to OFF and the unit is unplugged from the
electrical outlet.
CLEAN FILTER
Normally, the air filter should be cleaned every
30 days. The filter is highly efficient in removing air-
borne particles. More frequent cleaning may be
required in areas with low outdoor and indoor air
quality.
To remove the filter, grasp the filter handle tabs on
the right center of the front inlet grille and slide the
filter out to the right. The filter may be vacuumed or
washed by hand in warm water. Use of a mild deter-
gent is recommended. Dry the filter thoroughly after
washing. Replace the air filter by sliding it back into
the filter slot. Do not operate unit without filter in
place.
CLEAN FRONT PANEL
The front panel may be cleaned after it is removed
from the air conditioner. Wash the panel by hand with
warm water and a mild soap. Be sure to thoroughly
dry the panel before reinstalling. Never pour water
directly on the unit. Do not use gasoline, thinner, or
other chemicals to clean unit.
CLEAN BASEPAN
The basepan may need to be cleaned if there is a build-
up of mold, mildew, or algae that could cause unpleas-
ant odors. When outdoor humidity is high, condensate
may not fully evaporate from basepan during normal
operation. To clean the basepan, run the air condi-
tioner in Fan Only mode for 4 to 6 hours to remove
condensate. Remove the front panel. Use bleach or
other cleaner to remove mold, mildew, or algae from
basepan. Replace front panel.
CARE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control should last indefinitely with proper
care. Do not expose the remote control to direct heat.
Do not spill liquids or place heavy objects on the
remote control. Make sure the signal from the remote
control to the air conditioner is unobstructed.
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
If the remote control stops working or if the display
becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced. Use 2
AAA (1.5 volt) batteries. Do not use rechargeable bat-
teries. Do not mix old batteries with new ones.
To replace the battery, find the small tab on the back
of the remote control. See Fig. 27. With a fingernail or
screwdriver, slide out the battery cover using the tab.
Remove and recycle the old batteries. Insert the new
batteries, ensuring that the (+) and (-) of the batteries
are matched correctly. Gently slide the battery cover
back into the remote control.
NOTE: If battery replacement is done within 1
minute, the remote control will keep its original pre-
settings.

UNIT NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH
COOLING Unit airflow is blocked. Remove any curtains, blinds, or furniture that may be blocking indoor airflow. Check outdoor airflow and
remove any blockage to outdoor airflow.
Thermostat temperature setting is too high. Reset thermostat to a lower (cooler) temperature.
Unit air filter is dirty. Remove and clean air filter.
Room was excessively hot when cooling oper-
ation started. Allow sufficient time for unit to cool room.
Compressor Overload tripped. Let fan run for approximately 10 minutes to reset
compressor overload and restart compressor.
UNIT MAKING NOISES Normal operation. Low clicking, bubbling, or whooshing noises are nor-
mal during operation of the unit.
Loose parts. Tighten loose parts.
Inadequate support. Provide additional support to unit.
UNIT ODORS Formation of mold, mildew, or algae on wet
surfaces. Remove drain plug and drain condensate from unit. Clean base pan.
WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE Normal operation. Condensation runoff during hot and humid weather
is normal. A field-supplied drain hose can be
installed if required.
WATER DRIPPING INSIDE Unit is not installed at proper angle. Unit must be tilted slightly outside for proper runoff of
condensation. Check that installation is correct and
make necessary adjustments.
ICE OR FROST BUILD-UP ON COIL Unit air filter is dirty. Remove and clean air filter.
